Malayan Tapir artificial semenisation

This was the female tapir. She was to be in the workshop, looking at her uterus. The red dart which was bathed with anesthetic was shot to the bottom to make her unconscious

Veterinarian team under the working plan, were waiting for the tapir to sleep.

Not only breeding, they took this opportunity to clean tartar from her teeth, and look into other health aspects.
While they were working, they had to count the time because the unconscious stage was about 45 minutes. They had to work racing to the time

Oxygen putting in her mouth.

This was the whole picture of Malayan Tapir. Another one in the same pen.

Looking into her uterus to see if it was perfect. The vet carried the camera and put it through the anus, the pictures appeared on the monitor screen.
Again, one of the ostrich or emu family, walking big birds
Emu from Australia, aren't they?

They were one of the majority in this zoo

There were hundreds. They were so tame.

Living on the lawn and running around

Opposite building was the restuarant where we had lunch, dinner, and breakfast. I walked around the quiet lake at dawn. I believed all the vets in this programme from many zoo around Thailand lived here in these few days too.

Resort in the zoo surrounding the big lake and the beautiful huts for the night.

My place for one night. I went to bed about nine and woke up about four. I was so happy to walk around the lake but there was scattered showers afterward.

Eastern Sarus Crane, big programme for the zoo

Crane was the rare animal too. Highest bird who can fly, this programme for breeding them and sent back to nature.

The excellent and talent team who worked with crane. Not only for raising, they had talent in artificial breeding too.

Living as a couple forever, if one died, other would live alone. Other crane could not come to the widow. Saying that it could be pecked if coming.

Crane egg, emerging stage, it took 5-6 hours, look at the white york triangle on the egg. This was the way to emerg, the bird made.

Emerged from the eggs, chicken infant

Baby chicken

Baby crane, 1 month old

Another one month old

Few months old, still be in the nursery

One year old, ready to the nature. He woulld go to the outside fence for natural adaptation and some lesson before being released.

I would say I enjoyed visiting this zoo. I would come again if somebody asked me to. It was time for some rest and I slept long hours which not being able to do so other nights before.
Nakornrajsima zoo was situated on the road from Seekeew- Chokchai, about few kilometre from the Paktongchai Junction. If you come from Nakonrajsima by Pakthongchai road, just turn left at the Chokchai junction. The ticket was quite expensive about 70 baht each. I hope they could discount it. However, it was a good and quiet place to visit on the week end. Chavalvut
